Category: Trackers

Hello folks,

I found out a strange behaviour at least for .pdf files:

I use a Tracker with a field of type "files" to provide a "file-pool" respectively a download area for an npo's member are - Tiki 18.0 alpha. On another site with Tiki 17 the error does not appear.
File gallery is set to store in directory on both sites.

__When a user tries to upload a file of any size that was ===either created on a Mac or that was sent from a Mac=== by email (so has been stored/saved on a Mac), it is not possible to upload to Tiki via the files field.__

Error: Upload impossible. There are restrictions.
(translated)

The same file __can be uploaded via the file gallery__ - but then it does not appear in the tracker.

"4:57:20 PM - jonnyb: althugh the error looks like one i exposed recently in 18.x - before when it errored it just removed the tracker item edit modal so you lost all your changes an so i fixed that, but i should not have introduced any new errors - maybe the file is too big, or doesn 't meet the mime type or somthing? check the extension is .pdf etc, maybe it's something like that?"
{QUOTE}

When I recreate the file (I use Ubuntu 14.04), by importing to a software and save as new file or I split and remerge it with pdfSAM, __the newly ===recreated=== file can be uploaded__ via the tracker field files.

It is not enough to simply save a copy from the .pdf viewer, but it must be really created new. pdfSAM is a workaround for multipage files, but not sufficient for a growing amount of files.

As I am stubborn in the npos where I am engaged, that we need OS independend solutions, not excluding for ex Linux users, I cannot expect from Mac users to not being able to use the Tracker field of type files and even not be able to privide files to the teams.

I am wondering why this occurs, cause afaik the main developer of this field type is a Mac user himself -Jonny, right assumtion ;-) ?

Please help or comment.

If no quick fix possible, I'll post a bugreport including this description later on today.

Thx for help and considerations.

Up through Tiki 19.x my trackers have had assigned galleries to upload images too, and to browse from. Since Tiki 21.x that has stopped working.

In Tracker Field Type "Files", there are options to assign a gallery to upload file and images too, and there is an option to assign a gallery to browse from. This is how I have my tracker built, so when a user of the tracker uploads an image then the image automatically is stored in the assigned gallery. If the user wants to browse for the image on the server, then the assigned gallery is used to browse from.

At this point, those are no longer working, when a user uploads or browses, they have to manually choose the gallery to upload too, or to browse from.

I will create a show instance. Thank you.

Hi,

Since Tiki 15x (so since Bootstrap) tracker field type Multiselect with the parameter 'Input type: List box':

*displays an unusually tiny box
*uses a very small font to display the text in the box
*only displays one row of options (no options to choose how many rows to display)

Here is a pic of what it looks like:
{img fileId="1239" thumb="box"}

This renders the multislect field unusable in 'List box' format (or very difficult to work with in the best case scenario).

Has anyone experienced this?

Thanks,
Mike

__UPDATE, Oct. 16, 2018 / 19:12__
I created a Show Instance with two examples (on Home Page, login/pass: admin / admin54321)
*the top example contains simply Smarty code in the Wiki page template

*the second example is Smarty inside a Fancy Table on teh Wiki page template

So it looks like the problem only occurs in the second instance.
Any way for Multiselect to show properly in a Fancy Table via a wiki page template?

When we set the "ok" field to "n", it produces an error when uploading files.

The filter in view tracker items do not work anymore. I did not try trackerfilter plugin (bug might be there as well).

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
I am using the trackerfilter plugin to display a list of tracker items. I can enter filter criterion and filter the list (works perfectly). The problem is, however, that when the resulting list of filtered items is more than one page and I select to see a subsequent page, the filter entries are lost and I am returned to an unfiltered page. The reason that I have given this item a high priority is that it actually makes the function unusable.

An example of what I'm talking about:
I have a list of outstanding bug reports and I want to take a look at all of the "A" priority items. I enter an "A" into the priority filter and I am presented with a view of 25 items. I can also see that I have 75 "A" priority items. I press "next page" (from pagination) and my filter selection goes away and I am presented with an unfiltered list. It is impossible for me to see the rest of the "A" priority items!

Somebody help! Please. I'm begging now... I'm going crazy here trying to complete this project... (:confused:)

Tracker with radio buttons with 10 selections generates invalid html. The "id=" values in the <input and <label tags are mostly blank. and are duplicated for all radio button fields.

Now, it's all or nothing, and not obvious to turn off

Interface should warn you if there is a dependency which needs to be activated

Page 2 after 7 entries is weird. Should use default value for site.

A tracker is created to included image upload. Image upload browse to gallery is set to a specific gallery to browse, when tracker image upload "Browse" is clicked, the tracker browses entire gallery structure, not only the defined "Browse" to gallery.
Please see show instance.

Admin trackers / <select tracker> / export&import / import items, csv

the tracker has two fields:
1 A text
2 B auto-incrementing itemid

the csv has one column and two rows next to the header:
A
apple
banana

parameters:
as new items not checked (expecting that it will either replace items, or remove them all)

result:
in admin trackers the number of items increases
the items view does not show any new items (even if the tiki cache is emptied) and it shows an unchanged number of items

Since Tiki21 I use tabular import through the console to daily import and update items.
It went through with Tiki22 and worked fine for several month then a few month before Tiki23 it started to throw errors.

I updated to Tiki23 to check and it is the same.

It is interesting to note that the __tabular import from the HTML front end doesn't throw any error__ and that in the end __both import successfully__ all the items.

This is the error I have for the 13 items that are imported

Clicking the format on -+tiki-tabular-edit?tabularId=42+- brings up the edit format dialog correctly, but it add a duplicate field instead of editing the one you clicked.

Using 1.9.7, tracker item list view shows wrong labels for columns, but the js popup shows labels ok, and item view is ok.

Screenshot attached. Same behaviour with tikineat.css theme style (cleaning caches, etc.).

[http://www.moviments.net/precarios/tracker6]

Example of item view ok:
[http://www.moviments.net/precarios/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=32&show=view&offset=0&reloff=0&status=o&trackerId=6&sort_mode=lastModif_asc|here]

Example of problem: Under the first column ("Siglas"), it should say ASI-Granada, and not "Asociación de Becarios de Granada ASI" (which is the field "Asociación"), etc.
-----------------
UPDATE: July 9th, 2007
The problem seems to be generated by using Wiki markup in a text area field. One field is
{CODE()}
((ASI-Granada))
{CODE}

When I edit this only field to removed the double round brackets
{CODE()}
ASI-Granada
{CODE}

, then item is shown ok in list.

I leave it with one item with double quotation marks (with the probem), and one without (displyed ok).:

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
When clicking the usual edit icon {icon name=edit} the field no longer edits in place - why?

Secondly when clicking "ok" in the tiny dialog that appears i get a "following mandatory fields are missing: login" error, but that field does have a value for that item (showing in a different column).

Curiously, it works here, so maybe it's the field type that's the problem. Mine is a UserSelector (it's a user tracker)

Still a regression in terms of UX though, imho

{flash type="url" movie="display623" width="931" height="440"}

tracker inline edition doesn't edit the field, just re-loads the page.

Reproduced here:
http://xavi-9794-5922.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Community+Members+HomePage
u: admin
p: 12345

Log in as admin to the site, and Click at the icon to edit inline any field.
The page is refreshed (maybe after quickly showing the controls to edit the value).
---
Update: when clicking on radio button or date fields, I get to see the edit form, but it quickly dissapears with the page reload. {sign user="xavi" datetime="2016-05-31T06:48:49+00:00"}

On a tracker with a file field create an item.
Upload a file or browse for an existing file in your file gallery.
When you click on the select button (label should be "save the file" or "insert file or...) the modal close and you lost everything you entered in the form.

The picture is however uploaded to the relevant file gallery.

It was working fine not so long ago...

While viewing tracker5 item it shows "Lastmod by" with wrong value. Clearly I was the last to modify the item here: https://dev.tiki.org/tiki-tracker_view_history.php?itemId=7145
But it shows "John Morris" instead on the View tab: https://dev.tiki.org/item7145-Browse-Gallery-option-does-not-insert-files-or-images-syntax-into-wiki-page

Another issue/regression at themes.tiki.org - I'm updating tracker 10, which lists the themes, with information for the Brite theme, and text seems to go missing from inputs randomly when I go on to another input. And I've saved the tracker item info after scanning it to make sure all the fields are filled, and when the item shows up in tracker items, the theme name is missing, with "undefined" in its place.

The "Theme name" field is a page selector, but when I input the full name "Brite", the page isn't found, the spinner goes constantly. I just realized if I just input "B", then the theme name appears in the selector options and can be clicked. But not saved, as again "undefined" is displayed in list-items where "Brite" should be.
I edited the short description field to add the theme name and saved, but the field content wasn't updated. :-|

Clearing caches and rebuilding the search index didn't help.

Tested using the "Work_Custom_Pricing" Profile.

Why the display is broken and no css is shown there? (it reminds me of cases where php memory was exhausted, even if this is a pretty simple use case in a fairly standard ubuntu 18.04 server which should have 128Mb at least to start with, if not 256Mb )

Re: Related to "PPM" (keyword for Marc)

Editing an item I tried the "preview" button it shows me an outdated version of the item in the preview (previous status) and the formatting in the text area was broken (no line feed, etc)

This is not good enough to be in Tiki as it is and should be experimental till it is fixed.

+ it should be optional.

I just did a test of the Registration tracker at:
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-register.php

One of the checkboxes was mandatory. Since it's to accept something, it's not clear that I am not required to check it.

A drop-down would have been better in this case.

When viewing a tracker item like http://dev.tiki.org/item4742, you see a link to the history of that item, expect just after editing.

Using 1.10cvs code from mid june 2007

I created several trackers. Enabled RSS for individual trackers. Created rss modules for two individual trackers (rss 1 and rss 2).
Granted common permissions for anon. (view, ...), and most tracker permissions for Registered group.

Added a call to rss plugin within a wiki page:
{CODE()}
{rss id=1}

{rss id=2}
{CODE}

When viewing the page as registered, I see:

^
Tiki RSS Feed Error Message: Permission denied you cannot view this section
^

Did I miss any special perm to be granted for registered? A bug?

(I granted all perms from tracker section - to them, or inherited from anonymous - except for tiki_p_admin_tracker)
